Tang Yi didn't want to, he really didn't mean it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the crazy Qi Xuefeng forcibly pulled him onto the big boat, and he could only be sorry for this Wang Zhizhou, so let him go first.

As for Qi Xuefeng, it is not difficult to see from his past conversations that although he moved inland and aspired to fame, his heart is still the sea.

This man has the sea in his heart, and he also contains the rare spirit of exploration in this era.

Going up to the top of the giant ship, it was far more shocking to Qi Xuefeng than looking at it below.

"This ...... What kind of ship is this? ”

He noticed that the ship was not quite the same as a common sea vessel.

At least the bits and pieces of sails on the ship are different from the traditional fortune boats.

"It's ......"

Well, he really stopped Tang Yi, because he couldn't tell what kind of ship this was.

"It's a kind of improvement of the lucky boat."

"Then this sail ......" Qi Xuefeng looked puzzled. Also, this hull is a bit narrower than the Fukubune, right? ”

Qi Xuefeng is a knowledgeable person, and he can see that this ship is too different from the lucky boat at a glance, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that it is an improvement of the lucky boat.

First of all, the hull of the ship, the draft of the Fu boat, so the width can be very wide, generally ten zhang long boat four zhang wide, this ratio is the most suitable. And the huge ship he is in now is at least fifty zhang long, but the width of the ship is no more than ten zhang.

The advantage of this is obvious, the narrower the boat, the better it is for high-speed sailing, and the easier it is to maneuver.

Tang Yi wanted to use this big ship to sail to the end of the sea, and speed and handling were naturally the primary considerations.

However, there are disadvantages to being narrow.

Sea vessels are pointed, and the narrower they are, the less balanced they are. In order to balance the upper and lower levels, and to be more resistant to wind and waves, more ballast stones are needed, which means that the draught is deeper. The deeper the draft, the greater the sail power required.

For such a large ship and such a deep draft, it requires at least two rudders and six to seven masts to ensure speed.

In other words, at least six or seven masts of the same height should be erected on the deck, so as to reflect the advantages of the narrow hull.

However, this ......

Qi Xuefeng is strangely also here, with the help of the sunset, the things on the deck are clear at a glance. The whole large ship has one high mast, two low masts, and many small masts, but they are far from meeting the requirements of a large sail mast.

And the strangest thing is that there is no transom mast on the mast, where to hang the sails?

"This ship doesn't look like a lucky ship, and this sail?"

......

When Tang Yi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I don't want to do that, but unfortunately I can't think of a better shape."

He doesn't want to make such a "four dislikes", it's just that Lao Tzu is not a god, I really don't know how to build those Calk ships, Caravel ships, or Galen ships?

That's it, in order to cooperate with the ocean, the old shipwrights of Haizhou Shipyard racked their brains to improve the ship as much as possible.

In Tang Yi's view, it is already a super-level performance.

......

The Han Chinese were not good at going to the sea, including the later Three Treasure Eunuchs, who said that they went to the Western Ocean, but in fact most of the time they slipped along the coast of the continental shelf to South Africa, and at best crossed the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea a few times.

Therefore, the shipbuilding technology of the Han people was not suitable for the ocean.

First of all, the boat, which is the most suitable for seafaring, is also a high water and a wide hull. Although it is tall and stable, it is easy to handle, but because it is too tall, its ability to resist wind and waves is not very outstanding.

The second is the sail, and the Han people use I-shaped hard sails. The advantage of Chinese hard sails is that the operation is very simple, there are very few people, and the time required to raise and lower the sail is also very small. It is especially suitable for offshore and river trade, and saves labor.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious.

First, because there is only one support point, the sail has a limited area, and the heavy use of wooden skeletons also limits its draft, so the speed is very slow, and it is inefficient when sailing across oceans, making it unsuitable for ocean trade and exploration.

Second, the hard sail can only be raised to the top and cannot be adjusted according to the situation, which is not good for avoiding reefs and crossing island groups.

To put it bluntly, the Fu Boat and the Hard Sail are designed for offshore and river boats.

However, where is Tang Yi going to drive the ship this time? The American continent across the sea. Separated by the Pacific Ocean, it is not comparable to the Arabian Sea. It's not that the lucky boat can't get by, but the danger factor is definitely not low.

These more than 100 sea ships have poured too much effort into Tang Yi and tens of thousands of shipyard workers, and it is not easy to create what they are today.

"As for this sail......" Tang Yi smiled secretly. When there is a chance, Brother Baishan can see and understand.

Qi Xuefeng was stunned when he heard this, "What?" What's the mystery? ”

Tang Yi pointed to a small boat next to the big boat, which was specially used to experiment with the triangular soft sail.

"Tomorrow, let's take that small boat out to sea for a walk, and Brother Baishan will understand."

Well, this sail is not all the credit of Tang Yi. For the spinnaker, Tang Yi can also put forward a look, what it looks like, how to do it, or the credit of the boatmen.

"Let's go, let's go!" Tang Yi didn't have time to explain to Qi Xuefeng what was going on with the dhow, and there were still a bunch of people waiting on the dock.

Qi Xuefeng didn't want to leave a little, he really wanted to live on this giant boat.

"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow!"

"Definitely, definitely!" Tang Yi impatiently pulled him away. There is also a descendant of Wang Zeng waiting for him to meet.

....

However, when he got off the big boat, Tang Yi looked left and right in a daze, "What about the special person?" ”

Person?

With his out-of-tune energy, who is waiting for him?

As soon as Cao Tong said just now that it was the mad king who got on the big boat, Wang Yi's face was green, so he didn't bully people like this, no matter how good he was, his face was gloomy.

Cao Tong saw that Wang Zhizhou's face was wrong, and he also knew that this Qi Baishan and Tang Zihao were a little too much, so he hurriedly rounded the field:

"When the giant boat was first built, the mad king was overjoyed, but he couldn't help but get on the boat and take a look first. I'll wait and go back first, and settle down at the pavilion. As for the Mad King, let him go back by himself. ”

I can't let Wang Yi wait any longer, wait a little longer, it is estimated that he has the intention to kill.

And Wang Yi's patience has indeed reached the limit, and Uncle Cao Guo gave him the steps, and there is no reason to be unreasonable. flicked his sleeves, led the prince and Uncle Guo, and really didn't care about Tang Yi and left directly.

It's not even if it's gone, Wang Yi's breath hasn't come out yet, and under the hatred and hatred, he secretly gave the entourage a bad look.

The poor leader understood, and found an opportunity to lean over, "What does Zhizhou command?" ”

Wang Yi said gloomily: "Let Wang Tongju go to the banquet together in the evening to catch the wind for the mad king!" ”

Burst!!

The poor leader couldn't hold back his laughter.

"This ...... Is this appropriate? ”

"Why not?" Wang Yi said indignantly. "The wicked should be grinded by the wicked, and someone should kill the majesty of this Tang madman!"

The poor leader's shoulders trembled, and Le's stomach twitched, but he didn't dare to laugh.

It's just that I complained in my heart, our Lord Zhizhou is enough to lose! Wang Tong's sentence? Then this Tang madman is estimated to have to suffer.
